Anne Dicker for State Senator
Anne Dicker is a personal friend of mine, but even if she wasn’t I’d be supporting her run for State Senate: she’s a dedicated progressive, she’s fought for health care and a raise in the minimum wage, but most importantly, she’s not corrupt like Vince Fumo (warning, pdf), who just scored quite the little break:
In a controversial vote, the Board of Revision of Taxes yesterday decided to put off until next year the reassessment of state Sen. Vincent Fumo’s Green Street home, now on the market for nearly $7 million but on which the board has placed a market value of $250,000.
The 4-to-3 vote came on a motion from longtime board member Robert N.C. Nix III, who asked the board to reconsider that market value in light of the hefty offering price on the 27-room, four-story manse near 22nd Street.
Schweet. This would be the same mansion Fumo paid $175,000 for in 1994, and is now on the market for nearly $7 million. He currently pays only $6,611 in property taxes.
I’m tired of being represented by an embarrassment who’s using my taxpayer dollars for his own sordid ends.
Anne Dicker is everything Vince Fumo is not: honest; progressive, a reformer, and above all, ethical.
